Early mail and best exotic plays for Randwick on Saturday from racing editor Chris Scholtz.

RANDWICK SATURDAY

RACE 2 (4) DEFINE: Robust filly who will undoubtedly take benefit from her sterling first-up effort over 1300m on the Kensington track on January 8 when she found the line strongly after striking trouble in the straight. She was given ample time to develop after showing high potential in her first two starts for a win and a second at Warwick Farm and this looks a most suitable second up assignment as she drops 4kg from her resuming fourth and is drawn to enjoy a soft trail behind the pace.

RACE 3 (10) HOLLYWOOD BOUND: Former Queenslander made a strong debut for the Chris Waller stable when he worked home from the back half for second to Divertire over 1600m at Warwick Farm at first outing since September. More depth here but sure to take plenty of improvement from his first outing for top stable and Brisbane record indicates he will be suited by the extra trip and bigger track.

RACE 7 (9) RECOINAGE: Close to a win after being runner-up in two of her three starts since resuming and gets a significant gear change with blinkers back on as she seemed to lose her focus at the wrong time last start at Warwick Farm when she just failed to run down Caprossa. Excellent each way prospects in this field as she placed at her only Randwick start and has missed the first three only twice in seven starts over this trip.
